The skills, techniques, tools and ‘know-how’ for repairing older bikes are disappearing fast as materials, industry standards and technologies change. My workshop is equipped for these classics.

Have the bits and pieces but lack tools, time or know how? Need your classic bike built to the best professional standard?

I offer a range of bike services covering any type of bike. From bike health checks to repairs and servicing. Keep the family bikes running smoothly with a regular service.

Bought a bike in a box but not confident about putting it together, or just want the reassurance that your bike is assembled correctly and is safe to ride?
